Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets were held without a hit until two outs in the ninth inning and while they avoided that ignominy, they fell to the Braves, 4-1, Saturday afternoon in Citi Field. They wore their ugly City Connect uniforms and remain winless wearing those tourist-trap jerseys."


NY Post: "Martinez’s two-out home run in the ninth provided the Mets with a hit, a run and a sidestep of humiliation...Martinez’s blast to right field off Iglesias — his first homer as a Met — avoided the Mets being no-hit for the ninth time in their history...The Braves have played as if they are in a different stratosphere. The Mets have scored three runs on six hits in 18 innings against Atlanta pitching the past two days."

Mets.com: Senga unable to halt Mets' first-inning woes: "First-inning struggles continue to plague the Mets as Kodai Senga coughed up four runs in the first frame of a 5-0 loss to the Reds on Thursday at Great American Ball Park...Since April 22, they have lost 13 of 17 games, the worst mark in the National League during that stretch, and fallen from a half-game out of first place in the NL East to 7 1/2 games out and fourth place...Including Thursday’s game, New York has been shut out four times during this stretch (seven times on the season)..."

NY Post: Tylor Megill’s worst career outing sinks Mets in loss to Nationals. "In his worst career major league start, Megill lasted just 1 ¹/₃ innings and allowed eight earned runs on eight hits and one walk...Pete Alonso’s two-run homer in the first inning off Aaron Sanchez gave the Mets a brief cushion. Brandon Nimmo doubled leading off the game and scored when Franco threw away Starling Marte’s bunt. Alonso followed with a blast into the left-field seats for his team-leading eighth homer. The Mets didn’t score again."

Ken Davidoff NY Post: Patrick Mazeika quickly becoming Mets’ lucky charm. "The third-string catcher Mazeika delivered his second walk-off fielder’s choice in five days, his ninth-inning, two-out tapper to Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini proving sufficiently slow for Jonathan Villar to beat the throw home and give the Mets their sixth straight victory, 3-2 over the Orioles Tuesday night at Citi Field."

NY Post: Mets rally in ninth, enter Subway Series on high note.  "In the throes of a deep funk, they avoided a sweep at the hands of the Phillies with some ninth-inning magic, rallying from three runs down, to pull out a 5-4 victory in 11 innings and end a five-game losing streak on Mother’s Day at Citi Field...Shortstop Ruben Tejada drove home Chris Young...in the 11th with the winning run as the Mets won for the first time in a week...[down 4-1] Daniel Murphy followed Eric Young Jr.’s double leading off the ninth inning with a two-run blast, his second home run the year, against Antonio Bastardo. After Chris Young missed a game-tying shot by inches — his double hit the top of the wall in left field to snap an 0-for-18 streak — pinch-hitter Bobby Abreu singled off Chase Utley’s glove against reliever Roberto Hernandez. Juan Lagares drove in the tying run with a ground out to shortstop."
